Mark Ferguson’s bar and grill, Ferg’s, is just steps from Tropicana Field, a site with 86 acres of land and with endless possibilities he says, “It’s
Sometimes you hear a crack or a roar. More often the first sign is snow shifting around your feet. The snow starts in a slab and then breaks into blocks that knock you off your skis, careening down in a slide moving as fast as 60-80 mph. If you’re lucky, you live through it, plastered with snow; if not, you’re entombed, hurtled over a cliff, killed.

Students will vote in IU Student Government elections for student body president and vice president at the end of this week. The Indiana Daily Student spoke with all three tickets about the issues we thought were most important to IU students.

If you wanted to, you can watch Deschutes County Commission and Bend City Council meetings from home. That was true even before the pandemic.
Spoiler alert! They tend to be low wattage. Exceptions do happen. Debates can get feisty. Public testimony can be passionate and compelling. A Bend City Council meeting did burst into song. And taxes, zoning, parking, homelessness, policing and other things that can have a major impact

As a case manager for a nonprofit that serves older adults, veterans and adults with disabilities in Texas, I’ve seen social services move online as a way to more efficiently get assistance to people without exposing them to the virus. And yet, this only exacerbates the digital divide. Many of my clients don’t even have a phone. And yet, in the few communities where rental assistance or Covid vaccines are

I’m a sucker for New Year’s Resolutions.
Like most other people, I tend to fail between Jan. 15 and Feb. 1.
Around Christmas of 2019, I started thinking about the “new me” I was going to build in the new year.
And then I thought again. I rarely have success at this. Why take up this tired cultural tick, when it was bound to make me feel like a loser?
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BLESSINGS TO ALL: A tree with ornaments and a star or angel at the top, Santa Claus bearing gifts, food that is tasty and carols to sing, it’s Christmastime! Make Christmas special year after year and enjoy the experience. A meaningful time of memories that will linger forever is ours. Everyone is a child at Christmastime.

Recent letters to the editor and guest editorials fail to get it right when talking about contaminants in Liberty State Park.
The contaminated area has been fenced off since 1980 when contamination was dumped on the state park by the Army Corps of Engineers, the Port Authority and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. They did it again in 1987.
Chromium waste was dumped before 1980
After several days, the plant partly came back online, and we squeaked through. We took our public health responsibility extremely seriously. We were ready to do whatever was necessary to preserve the public health.
Strong public health powers are vital for government to have and use. Every day we see the results of the failure to use them aggressively as the novel coronavirus rips through our country. Criminal law protects

Can a state park be all things to all people? Can it be an international destination as well as a local park? Can a large urban park provide the serenity of nature, active ballfields and priceless iconic views?
